My Canon Powershot S3is won't stay on. I thought it was a battery problem, so I got brand new batteries, but after two or three pictures it shuts off and won't come back on. I have gotten SO many different kinds of batteries thinking it was a power thing, but this is crazy. Please help.

Sloooooowww speed I LOVED my 20D the first two years I had it. Then last spring it started slowing down - I was no longer able to fire off shots like before in multi-shot mode. Then one day it wouldn't stop clicking off shots. I turned it off, took the battery out and let it sit for a bit. Then it stopped working altogether and I got an error 99. It went into the shop and Ritz Camera said they fixed it - but they didn't. It worked one hour and did the same thing. I loaded a firmware update on it

Battery problem This morning I turned on my brand new Nikon Coolpix 5400 and got nothing on the screen. pushed some buttons and still nothing. Went to turn it off and it won't. The lens stays extended and the power light is still on. I don't know if maybe the batteries are so low they can't do anything, but I was under the impression that the camera had an indicator for the batteries really needing to be recharged. The low battery light was on last night, but I haven't seen need to be recharged

Some of these cameras go from "low" to "no" very quickly. The electronics are more sensitive to available voltage than the mechanicals and it doesn't take full voltage to keep an led lit or to retract the lens. But the cpu shuts down. I would have ex ...

I have a samsung digimax A402 camera. I have never had a problem with it powering on until now. I have placed brand new double A batteries and when I press the power button on the camera the screen tells me my battery is low and the camera powers off. I have tried different brands of batteries as well. What is the reason my camera will no longer turn on and stay on with new batteries installed?

My camera did exactly the same thing. I found that there was a minute trace of corrosion on one of the battery conections inside the body of the camera. After cleaning up the contacts to remove the corrosion the camera powered up without fault. It di ...

The rechargeable batteries don't work in my Canon Power Shot A540, they are charged, I even checked them on my batterie checker. Says, full of charge, I put them in camera and it says "change batteries. Same happens with regular new batteries.

Lens error I keep this Elph in a tiny, padded Halliburton case because the last TWO I bought ended up with broken screens.
I never had a problem, though lightly used. Last night I recharged the battery and inserted it. Immediately upon power-up, the lens went out and I got a "Lens error, restart camera" error. I turned it on and off about twenty times, left the battery out overnight: same thing. I jiggled the lens with the same result. Canon tech support told me to take the battery out a
